“This is the prettiest strawberry pie. Choose berries that are large and of similar shape. Stand them up in a pre-baked pie crust and pour a strawberry gelatin glaze evenly over the top. Chill until set and serve with a bowl of freshly whipped cream.”

Mine turned out too gelatin-like. I found another recipe like this and it had all the same ingredients, but their recipe called for 2 cups of water instead. Most of the reviews for this other recipe changed the water to 1 1/4 cup water so I think that would help if you don't like your pie filling tasting like Jello. So disappointed! This is so easy to make, I was hoping for a home run.

Use cold water. Only use the amount of sugar you need based on sweetness of berries. For 1 pie do all the same but 2 tablespoons of strawberry jello.
Cook the sugar, cornstarch & water until it's clear. It's not going to be completely clear - rather not white anymore. It will bubble slightly & then get it off the burner. It will be thickened fine. Then add your jello. All should be well unless you took your berries out of the fridge & tried to use them cold. They will weep & you'll end up with a mess.

My family used to make a pie like this when I was a kid, so I decided to try it for my family after coming across this recipe. The pie is good for if you want a fresh dessert that is not so many calories. This Jello mixture though did not fill 2 pie shells, not even close. I ended up finishing the pies and then having to quickly make more of the mixture to be able to fill the gaps in the pie shells/ cover all of the strawberries. The strawberries are plenty for 2 shells, just double the Jello mixture when you're making it.

Yum! I made this tonight & just had my first bite. It is delicious. I followed MrsKWaters advice & added a bit more sugar to the glaze mix as my strawberries were tart. I also discarded the extra mix. I mounded the strawberries like the directions said, but the filling did not spread out like I thought it would...maybe that's because of discarding the extra glaze mix? But regardless, it is so good. Oh, and I just made the topping as directed, but used brown sugar, & a dash of white. Thanks for a great recipe!
